Very pleasantly surprised at the extremely broad variety of craft beers and spirits. Impressively large cold room for a store of its size.... took me over twenty minutes to see everything within it and make my selection.

Psych Ward (PsychWard)

Great place! Always friendly people.

Scott Neis

friendly staff

Alexandra Griffith

Easy to shop here. Decent selection of wine.

Should go back to 11pm close everyday. I'm rarely the only person cussing outside the locked door after 10pm.

Fred Harris

Need the smaller bottle selection of Port...

Art Samuels

Ok but needs new stock.

Larry Lorimer

Friendly, courteous and good beer sales.

Chubb Rock

Great service. And good deals .

Doug Johnson

Lots of choice.

Karen Morissette

They are always well stocked and if you need mixes for specialty cocktails, you can get it right next door in Thrifty's grocery store.

Josh Knapman

Prices are higher than the provincial store a block down, so unless it's the only thing open i tend to avoid this one. Selection and service are fine though

Andrew Chernenkoff

They have an extensive beer selection and it's all in a walk in cooler. They have excellent selection of german and exotic beers. For anyone who prefers a German or any other old time beer maker you might find what your looking for. If your looking for a strong beer, they have some upward of +9 percentage. I highly recommend them if looking for some spirits this holiday season.

Ken Seabloom

Good selection, courteous staff.

Lisa T.

Ed Preece

Love it. Great selection of wine , beer and spirits. Can also use air miles there which is a bonus.

Jonathan Davey

The new store has very good selection. One of the best in the valley. The service is usually good, though there have been a few times where I've waited at the registers for approximately five minutes wondering where an employee is. You would think with the expensive wines, and texas mickeys fairly near the front door you would keep someone close by at all times. Service seemed faster and better in the old store.

Ryan Harrison

I did not find what I was looking for, but the staff was friendly and tried to help locate the four different whiskey types that my friend suggested! They were what you see in the picture toki, bear face, Shackleton, and Glenlarothes! Thanks so much for helping out.

Randi Bois

So much selection.

Lori Gogo

Best selection and thrift service with a smile. It has moved across the street to the mall on the other side of the grocery store. Have an employee give you a free sample of the weekly sales items to try new spirits and wine.

Judylyn King

Always helpful knowledgeable staff

Tim Mcgrath

Very pleased to see them offering airmiles!

MB Wise

Edit by author: This review was posted years before this Liquor Store became Thriftys and now it is the only place I go. Everyone is very friendly and kind. So I am changing the star rating. I once again had horrible customer service in this store, this time from the red head girl. And I know I am not the only one that has experienced this. I'm done shopping here now, I don't even care about the points you earn, not worth it to be treated so rudely.

Tryphena Kuypers

Amazing customer service

Eric O'Connor

Don't know why it's called Thritys when you can't even use a Thriftys smile card

Sabine Schill

Nice to be able to taste the wine, but sadly only 3 per visit!

laurie Parkin

Excellent quality and selection

TONY Tessier

Great liquor store

Leo Morissette

Glad they have moved great place and friendly staff

Robert George

Clean. Good selection. Nice staff.

Glenn Prior

This place should have this slogan: "We're out of stock". I went three times to get my favourite beer over the past few months...listed in the flyer. Never once did they have it though the staff provided creative guesses why they didn't have it, like "It's not made anymore". So a product that is no longer made is in the current flyer? Huh? Today, I went in to get some Christmas wine on special. Got there at 10. Sold out. I guess I'm a slow learner. I'll take my business elsewhere.

Barh

10-15% more expensive then BC liquor on most items. Reasonable selection. News flash, they're all selling the same thing, go to the cheapest.

James Kamaraus

Very helpful staff and a big selection

A. W

Nice store. Limited selection.

Ron Pearce

Brenda McCall

It is a great place

Samantha Dimery

Holger K

(Translated) Large selection but unfortunately no Kölsch (Original) Große Auswahl aber leider kein Kölsch

mike ens

I have tried to purchase their flier advertised wines on several occasions only to be disappointed every time!! Stop advertising product that you don't have.....

Kenneth Mazerolle

great prices

Ml C

Friendly staff, great selection, prices are fair

Lisa Gilker

Great new store!

Earth Maiden

The MOST OVERPRICED Liquor Store in the Valley. EVERY TIME I go in there to shop compare, I find myself leaving without product. Not sure why they aren't competitive with the rest of the local businesses. Supply also lacks compared to other competitors. Clearly only appeals to the last minute shoppers.

Shamus Baird

Good service

Steve S

Absolutely amazing higher than average price but Wicked sales and full-service everything from Lottery smokes potato chips and of course liquor and when I noticed a mess in the adjacent Forest not on their property I requested a few garbage bags to clean it up they were more than happy to supply me with such a great group of people who supports other people doing great things not just a liquor store
